Marina based NEWPORT CAFE - St Cast .
A special mention for 'Eric' of the 'NEWPORT CAFE', Saint-Cast, who during our 2011 enforced stay in Saint-Cast was so helpful and generous with his time.
Eric speaks good english and smoothed what was a difficult period for us. So good food and free Wi-Fi is available at the Newport Cafe.

Saint Cast .
Le Port adjacent to St Cast, has a large new 800 berth Marina, so when exploring the Channel Islands and Northern France, dont miss out on the new jewel - Saint-Cast le Guildo - 10 miles west of St Malo - 48deg 38.4mins N, 002deg 14.6mins W.
